Rebirth: Over the Horizon

'Let me see. Isn't it around here?'

Taking advantage of the fact that the Child of Nova's was preoccupied with the Alfuria and the high popes and cardinal were managed by Adam. 

Amelia entered the cave crossed the huge lake and entered the temple sneakily, but it's not like there weren't any unfortunate NPCs who didn't spot her. 

Slice!

"Ugh!"

Of course, those unfortunate ones who noticed her met their deaths. The exp she got from the dead followers of Nova was also not a small amount either. 

'This sword is quite a good.' 

The sword she bought in the auction broke when she fought with ice elves previously. 

The sword she was using right now was what the Alfuria's had given her, and it was much better than the previous one.

Amelia continued to move. She followed the blue arrow and went past the temple's walls and went straight ahead.

'It's here!'

There saw a small door before her. 

It was incomparable to the majestic entrance of the temple, but the door was big enough for two or more people to go at the same time.

"Mana Surveillance." 

As she said a transparent magical light spread throughout the place. 

'I couldn't feel a presence behind the door,' as she thought, Amelia slightly pushed the door and entered the room.

The inside was dark. With all kinds of boxes and items piled up, it seemed like it was a storage room.

'It's right...here?'

She smirked. 

By now, Amelia knew the temple's structure well—and it was because she had an unbelievable skill that let her know what is there in her surrounding. 

The transparent light which flew out of her body before was the proof. 

"Hum? How talented, just which architect build this place with this many escape holes."

"The child if Nova's are so stupid if they placed these many escape routes wouldn't the forgot some of them later." 

If the Novas knew of this, they would have clutched onto the back of their necks in rage.

With a sigh, Amelia began to turn the room upside down, and her eyes started to go up and down frantically. 

------- 

"What is the size of their army?" 

The Commander of the branch and an honourable knight of Nova—Carlson Nova—glared menacingly at the Alfurias heading towards them.

The priest next to him quickly replied, "I'm not sure, but it seems to be a little more than 150!"

"Ah..." 

A frown appeared on him, 'What are these bastards doing, facing us only with a meagre number of 150 people!' 

He was extremely angered by this fact, but he remained calm and started thinking rationally. 

'If they came all the way here with only this amount of people, the Alfuria would have definitely brought their most elite soldiers.' 

'And with Alfuria's elite soldiers, a 500 of ordinary Nova followers would be wiped out in an instant.' 

"Damn it! How were they able to find this place!" Annoyed, he smashed the ground with his feet.

This branch was on an enormous lake below a dry, desolate wilderness. 

According to their history, when Nova followers first saw this miraculous sight in front of them, it was said that tears streamed down their faces. 

The followers of Nova said that the Nova god sent down a miracle to help his followers hide from the persecution of the world. 

And true to their beliefs, since its first establishment, this area continued to be a reliable branch. 

He didn't know where the information had been leaked, but their number one enemy, the Alfuria, was now leading an elite army against them.

'They even dare to ridicule us, even if they have bought their most elite soldiers...have we become very unworthy in their eyes.' 

"Dino and Lino." 

As he said, two high priests looking identical to each other appeared before him, "You command the high priest and use the spells and stop them from crossing the lake." 

"Remember, Our fellow knights are only a little over 60 people, once they cross the bridge we will die." 

"Hope, Cardinal will arrive here fast." 

"Yes, sir!"

Without any rebuttals, the Nova brothers immediately followed Carolson's order. He pushed back his duty and headed back to the temple.

'I first have to pack that.'

----- 

"Kill him." 

One of the 4 people who surrounded Adam spoke. With the man's command, the rest of the three figures began taking out their daggers.

'By their weapons and the way dressed seems like they are assassins but how did the Child of Nova get themselves assassins.' 

Punch!

A harsh sound rang out from his face, a heavy punch landed on his face and bought bach his sens. 

But the next instant, as if someone pulled him from behind, the assassin's body flew backwards and his dagger fell to the floor.

"How was that?" 

A menacing smile formed on his face, as Adam reappeared before the three assassins. 

Just now he used the shadow robe's skill and knocked one of them to the ground. 

'It's quite useful' 

Although they tried to attack him, the assassins now kept a safe distance from him.

 They all noticed that Adam was extremely skilled at fighting. 

"Don't assassins normally take care of the bodies and quickly drawback? But none of you guys is doing that."

Adam laughed. 

"All of you are not ordinary assassins, right? What organization are you part of?"

Boom!

Suddenly, a fireball exploded on top of him. It was magic. 

To a person who was expecting only assassin techniques, this attack would have definitely caught them off guard.

"What's this?" 

But, when the smoke finally dissipated, there was blue coloured barrier steadily protecting his body. 

"Hm~ Unexpected, ah? I am also a magician." 

The assassins were shocked by the ease with which Adam handled the fireball.

'My fireball can at least kisi three knights at the same time even if they blocked it with their spear.' 

"What the hell are you?" 

"That's not important but, assassins that know how to do magic? I am seriously surprised." 

Even though Adam said that his face was showing no signs or emotion of him being serious. 

"Well, let's not drag any further I am in a but if hurry so let's carry out the things quickly, how about that?" 

As he said finished his line, the place suddenly become chill and four giant glomes appeared behind each one of them.
